Description
Summary:(En) In ancient Egypt, it was known that dogs were considered as ones of several Canidae. Since predynastic period, dogs were the earliest animals to be known and pictured. The main point of this article is to reveal the difference in use between the dogs used in hunting and those seated under the chairs of their owners especially in three Theban private tombs( TT.Nr.21,20,154 ), where dogs were considered to be more than pets for their owners. Further we will try to answer the question: why dogs in many tombs were seated under the chairs of their owners? (Ar) عرفت الكلاب في مصر القديمة منذ عصر ما قبيل الأسرات كواحدة من فصيلة الكلبيات، ولذلك تعتبر الكلاب من أقدم الحيوانات التي صورت قديماً، وأحاول من خلال هذا البحث أظهار الفرق بين الكلاب التي تم استخدامها بغرض الصيد، وتلك الكالب المصورة قابعة أسفل مقاعد أصحابها وبالأخص من خلال دراسة ثالث مقابر الأفراد بطيبة وهى المقابر أرقام 12،12، 251 ،حيث أعتقد أن الكلاب المصورة داخل تلك المقابر تعنى الكثير بالنسبة لأصحابها، كما سنحاول في تلك المقالة الاجابة عن لماذا صورت الكلاب فى عدد من المقابر أسفل مقاعد أصحابها.
